I used to work here so maybe I am a little biased but I love this store.
Located in the basement level of Thornes Marketplace, Acme Surplus is the everything store you've been searching for your whole gosh darn life.

Need some irregular hanes underware size XXXL?  they got it.  

How about some irregular Lee brand jeans size 0? They got that too.  

How about some Arizona Center Fielder Kenny Lofton mini-dolls?  you know it.  

and aquafresh toothpaste written in Spanish?  yup!  

a humongous selection of Birthday cards for 100 year olds?  Hell yeah!  

Confederate Flag stickers?  Whhhhaaaaat?  

and copy paper, copy paper, copy paper!!

I got a canvas laptop satchel here for $7.99!  

This place is cheapo and you never know what you're going to find.  The stock changes weekly and sometimes never.  I found the same weird shit here last week that I was trying to hock 5 years ago, and nobody wanted it then!  But it's all part of the Acme experience.  My advice?  Don't buy anything ever unless you get it from Acme Surplus.  their t-shirts are cool too.  Amazing prices on useful everyday items like socks, personal hygiene, house-hold cleaners, sweatshirts, candles, wrapping paper, electronics, umbrellas, shoes, belts, tools and hardware, paper...the list goes on and on.
